How can Trump betray his White Christian Nazi base like that? Unlike heslthcare, science, immigration and tariffs, when it comes to money experience and knowledge matters.

"Bessent is married to John Freeman, a former prosecutor, and they have two children. If confirmed, Bessent would be the first openly gay Treasury secretary. They live primarily in Charleston, S.C., and preserve historic mansions, per the Wall Street Journal." www.axios.com
Handsome couple, from a few years ago.
Hope he knows what he's doing and doesn't hurt the US Economy too badly. Trump's idiotic tariff scheme could wipe us out, along with his insane deportation ideas.

His being gay will be worse to a lot of his Base than Trump picking rapists, kid traffickers, and feebs for some of his other positions.

He at least has some expertise in his field.

The best cabinet pick so far and he's gay. A gay Trumper. Like Thiel. I'm not proud of these gay Trumpers.
GadZOOKS!

ooooo I bet he's gonna have the nicest office in the building...

Trumpanzee has normalized gay and women running for preznit. Keep it up. Now all he has to do is start a Department of Women's Affairs and install a transwoman to run it. Yay we're so free now!

My bet is Trump hasn't realised he's gay yet but I suspect that his White Christian Nazi base is going to inform him PDQ!

You also bet us that Harris would win in a landslide and the Dems would take the house and senate.

You'd think MAGA would at least be upset about the Soros part. They've already been hating on Soros for decades.

They've been trained to hate soros.

Not one of them could tell you why.

There it is.

Trump supporters don't care this guy is gay.

The left? They see this guy as a traitor.

It's more interesting that they don't care that he worked closely with soros after spending decades calling soros the devil incarnate

That's one take on what I said that I didn't even think of! Interesting mind you have there, Eberly.
Since when is "not being proud" = "they're all TRAITORS!"?

You can say that no trumpers care about them (those two) being gay, but the Administration has courted people that have helped put the death penalty in place in some countries in Africa. This administration is choosing Bondi as the Atty General, a Atty General of the state of FL who has been on a crusade to ban same sex marriage, demonizing gays as all kinds of predators, on and on and on.

So no, I'm not proud of these two gay men, one for HUGE financial support and putting JD Vance in as VP, and one for joining an Admin that has voiced intent on ripping his family apart. Billionaires that believe they'll be protected.

@#13 ... Since when is "not being proud" = "they're all TRAITORS!"? ...

It doesn't, not by a long shot. That false equivalence was humorous, at best.

The eberly alias looks to be just trying to provoke, as it typically seems to do of late.

But, back to what you mentioned...

Mr Thiel seems to have given us VP-elect Vance.

Am I proud of Mr Thiel's actions in that area? No.

OK, not just no, absolutely not.

Do I think that Mr Thiel is a traitor>

Again, absolutely not.

Unlike many in MAGA, I do not automatically think that those with differing political opinions should have the military targeted at them.
